To enter the contest, you will need to create an account. Wisconsin YES user accounts and contest entries are now managed through Reviewr, a trusted third-party SaaS provider engaged by the Tech Council. Select the “MY ACCOUNT” button above to get started. Each entry must be submitted in one of four categories based on the age of the contestant: 9th grade and under, 10th grade, 11th grade or 12th grade. For team entries, the category is decided by the oldest student on the team.
At any point during the application process, you can select “Save & Logout” to save your work. You can log back into your account (by clicking the “MY ACCOUNT” in the top navigation bar or on select pages at www.wisconsinyes.com) and edit your Phase 1 entry up until the deadline. After the deadline, all entries will be considered final and you will receive a confirmation email that your entry has been received.
Contestants will use the accounts to submit their entries, as well as review judges’ comments and feedback.
